I am participating in a Valentine Swap over in one of my groups on Ravelry. I am not a big fan of Valentine's Day mushy stuff but I love those girls so I wanted to spoil someone. When I got home from work today I had a box waiting for me and I wasn't even expecting it already! What a nice surprise. I got a totally awesome package from SweetPeaFibers (Felicity). She even sent me some of her awesome batts that she carded! I can't wait to spin them up!

Today I came home to two packages in the mail. I love getting packages, it feels like Christmas. First package was Fiber that I ordered from my friend Brittany. I was her 300th sale so I got an extra mini batt, which is the red one. I love it and want to buy the full size version. Then I got a package from knitpicks.com. So of the items are for me and some are for my Valentine Swap partner, hehe.

I finally got some spinning done with weekend. It was a month and a half since the last time I spun anything. I didn't have time between the holidays and moving. First I spun this 2 ply of Camel down and Mulberry silk. Then I spun two holiday inspired batts that I got from Bohoknitterchic . This came out to about 100 years, I love the colors.

Bobby brought home the most wonderful cupcakes today from Sugar Bakery , here in town. The one I had was SO yummy! I also had a wonderful package of fiber waiting from my friend Carrie! The batts are so pretty I think I want to spin a girly yarn with them.

From now until January 31st, I will be donating 50% of sales in my Etsy Shop, Princess Emma's , to Doctors without Borders . This includes all handspun yarn, jewelry, stitch markers and Magnets. Please help in anyway you can.

Because of packing, moving and the holidays. It had been about a month and a half since I spun any yarn. So today I decided to break out some yummy holiday inspired batts that I ordered from my friend Brittany's Etsy Shop , back in the beginning of December. Here is the lovely fiber I received from her. Emma loved the batts to, so she decided to use them as a pillow. I spun the batt on the right in to the below yarn. I got about 100 yards. I also spun this two ply yarn out of kettle dyed baby camel down and mulberry silk roving.
